La station météo a émis une alerte II en prévision du passage de Candice dans notre région en ce lundi 22 janvier. Du côté de Rodrigues, l’île est toujours en alerte I.

«A cyclone warning class II is in force in Mauritius. Second cyclone bulletin for Mauritius issued at 1610 hours on Monday 22 January 2024. Barometric pressure at St Brandon is steadily decreasing which indicates that the system is intensifying and it is likely to reach the Moderate Tropical Storm stage by tomorrow morning. It will then be named Candice. At 1600 hours, the marked low pressure was located at about 430 km almost to the north of Mauritius near 16.3 degrees south and 58.1 degrees east. It is moving slowly towards the south-south-east.

Given its position and likelihood of further intensification, the marked low continues to approach our region and it represent a potential threat for the island. A movement more towards the south may bring the system closer to Mauritius», precise le bulletin de la météo émis il y a quelques instants.
